Fiery

The mountains are on fire. Someone set them. When a catastrophic wildfire tears through the Colorado Rockies—killing dozens and erasing a community—it looks like weather and carelessness. Tali Gold knows otherwise. She's been in the crosshairs of powerful men her entire life, and she recognizes the shape of a hit. Getting out alive is only the first problem. The second is proving it without becoming the story. GW Canyon, her boyfriend, is the man who stands beside her without fully grasping what she's up against. He thinks the threat is political. Tali knows it's personal. The difference between those two readings will determine who survives—and who holds the power when the smoke clears. Fiery is the novel in the series where GW finally sees what the women in his life have always understood: that the most dangerous forces in American life rarely announce themselves. They arrive dressed as competence, family loyalty, and the national interest. A thriller built on the fault lines of wealth, power, and the particular fury of a woman who refuses to be erased. For readers who loved the domestic intelligence of Tana French and the emotional precision of Sally Rooney. Book 2 of the GW Canyon Journey series. Stands alone. Better in order.
